The Groton Dunstable Youth Softball League (GDYSL) is pleased to host the Red Sox 2013 World Series Trophy in Groton on Sunday, March 23. The event is free and open to the community. The trophy will be on display from 2:30-4:00 p.m. in the North Building of the Groton Dunstable Middle School, 344 Main Street in Groton.

Michelle Emerle, one of the organizers of the event, encouraged baseball fans to bring their cameras. “Visitors can stand with the trophy and ask a family member or Red Sox staff member to take a photo,” she wrote in an email.

It will mark just the second time a World Series trophy has come to Groton. “This is a very exciting event and a wonderful way to kick off our upcoming softball season,” Kate Shamberger, board member of GDYSL, said.

The independent softball league for girls age 4-15 is conducting its registration drive now, and girls can still register at the event for the spring softball season and the $25 late fee will be waived for that day. For more information on softball, visit GDYSL.com.

This event is made possible by a grant from the Town of Groton’s Lecture Fund.
